Notes on Special Music: Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
The words of this hymn were written by Walter Smith in 1867. The tune used is that of a traditional Welsh ballad. Walter was born in 1824 in Aberdeen, Scotland. He studied theology in Edinburgh, and was an ordained minister.
The song is based on the words found in 1 Timothy 1-17. It is a praise and worship hymn. It praises our God who is eternal, immortal, invisible, and all-wise. It is one of those hymns that makes one contemplate the greatness of our God.
